NCT ID NCT05174208

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study looked at 300 Crohn's disease patients to see if CT scan images could predict who would need surgery within a year of diagnosis. Researchers built a computer model using 'radiomics' to analyze the scans. The goal is to help doctors start stronger treatments earlier for high-risk patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this model could help doctors identify Crohn's patients at high risk for early surgery, allowing for more timely and aggressive treatment.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The model needs further validation in other groups before it can be used in clinics.
